WEEK SEVEN: MINGLE

[retellers]

WEEK SEVEN: MINGLE (21 remain) Rise and shine, gremlins. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it's the start of a new week. To the participants, yesterday's events may seem distant now—albeit not as distant as their life before this. Whether or not they notice, they will have lost a memory upon waking up. As usual, the participants will find that their lodgings have changed, and should anyone check their PHS, Chiron, Ochako, Soo-won, and Dorothy's profiles have been removed. They may also find that they have difficulty recalling complete details of the past weeks. Furthermore, it looks as though the rules have updated. Not everything is the same as the previous pattern, though. The barrier to the north is back up, and once more, what lies beyond is an empty field. In contrast, however, participants may notice that they can finally access a place they haven't been able to before... Additionally, it looks like the Leaders aren't around. No matter where the participants look, they're nowhere to be found. Should anyone try calling for them in the Planetarium, there will be no response—not even a message telling the participant that they're busy. Finally, everything around the participants begins to... glitch? Buildings may suddenly blink out of existence and then back in, random items like chairs or cups may suddenly distort even while they're being used, and looking at any particular thing for too long may give someone a headache. It's worse than it was that one week, though: participants will find that it's happening to themselves as well. Body parts might suddenly glitch out of existence then back in, and there will be a shot of pain when it occurs. It'll happen randomly, but it also seems to occur more often if they're touching something or another person.

[lecarre]

[Ange pauses.

And looks at Yona. And looks her over carefully.

....]

Welcome back.

[dawnblushed]

Thanks, Ange.

[yona smiles faintly at her]

...you worked hard.

[lecarre]

... It is nothing praiseworthy, so do not feel the need to force yourself.

I merely...

[...]

Rather, I wished to see all of the Wolves in one piece for myself. From here, you can decide for yourself. [Ange will not be offended to be told to go bugger off somewhere.]

[dawnblushed]

...

[well, now she just looks confused]

I'm not forcing myself, though...? You did work hard.

[discernments]

[ Jeanne runs up to Yona and holds out both her hands. ]

Hello again, Yona.

[dawnblushed]

Jeanne!

[she smiles and takes her hands]

I missed you.

[discernments]

[ She squeezes her hands gently. ]

I missed you, too. Was it difficult coming back?

[chanteuser]

[ ohhh my god there she is. ]

Hey Yona. [ her arms are open. have a hug ]

[dawnblushed]

[YEETS IN IMMEDIATELY FOR A HUG]

Hi, Alex...

[chanteuser]

[ big! hug! ]

Welcome back.

[axecessory]

[ awkward! but she's not going to go and run off from this so the awkwardness can linger forever and always.

plus, she is genuinely glad to see yona again. ]

Yona—I'm, um. Glad you're back.

[dawnblushed]

[yona runs off from this so the awkwardness can linger forever and always.



no, i'm kidding.]

...hey, Hilda. [...] Sorry... I made things kind of difficult for you, didn't I?

[axecessory]

[ bye yona!! ]

Oh, Goddess—please do not apologize.

[ she looks a little horrified. ]

I'm definitely the one who should be saying sorry.

[evocationary]

[ oh, yona gets a hug? yona gets a hug. and also a very quiet i'm sorry? hm ]

[dawnblushed]

[hug time!!

but also she looks confused.]

...what?

[evocationary]

For saying we couldn't fight back. Like, I know it's not my fault, just. [ she says it muffled into her hair because she feels bad, okay. ]

[papasha]

Hello, Miss Yona. Long time no see.

[He offers a small smile in return of the wave.]

[dawnblushed]

Blanca!

[forget smiling, he's getting a hug]

I missed you.

[papasha]

[Well, she's almost a grown-ass woman, but he hefts her up above him and then brings her down into a hug.]

I missed you as well. Have you been all right?

[arkitect]

[this is just slightly later bc a bitch absolutely ran to change clothes, i hate him

but he gives yona a nod, on running across her.]

I would say I hope the journey was uneventful, but I very much doubt it was.

[dawnblushed]

[emet is valid, honestly]

I doubt it was uneventful for you over here, either.

[arkitect]

Oh, not at all-- but the important part is that we have at least finished whatever that mess was.

[riegan]

Well, well. (ITS HIS PRACTICE BUDDY) Look who's shown up.

(VERY LATE FOR PRACTICE, YONA.)

[dawnblushed]

Sorry I'm late!

[She's late and she didn't even bring starbucks... smh]
